In the autumn, however, the crisis recurred, and then the arrests seemed the only means of preventing the passage of an ordinance of secession. Accordingly the order was issued and executed. Public opinion upheld it, and Governor Hicks afterward declared his belief that only by this action had Maryland been saved from destruction.
She recalled his voice when the other day he spoke of Hubert. He had not since recurred to the subject, but his manner still bore the significance with which that conversation had invested it. No dream of suspicions on his part had come to her, but it was enough that something had happened to intensify his dislike of Hubert.
I was disappointed in my early dream of liberty, and had found tyranny where I looked for freedom, and intolerance where I expected enlightenment; but if so, I recurred with tenfold enthusiasm to the career of the soldier, whose glories were ever before me. That noble path had not deceived me; far from it.
It was fully an hour after Victor Lamont's accomplices for such they were had retreated, that Sally opened her eyes to consciousness. For a moment she was dazed. Where was she? This was certainly not her room at the Ocean House. In an instant all the terrible scenes she had passed through recurred to her. She was in the cab alone! With a spasmodic gesture, she caught at her neck.
At these words Edmund changed colour and trembled; he clapped his hand upon his breast, and looked up to Heaven in silence; his dream recurred to his memory, and struck upon his heart.

The nearest approach to a definition of the situation was in a walk between Mavering and Mrs. Pasmer, and this talk, too, light and brief, might have had no such intention as her fancy assigned his part of it. She recurred to something that had been said on Class Day about his taking up the law immediately, or going abroad first for a year.
Through the evening, his sister recurred to the subject of Janet with curious frequency, and on the following day her interest had suffered no diminution.
It did not, indeed, break out immediately towards Emilie; but, in her conversations with Mad. de Coulanges, the same feelings of irritation and contempt recurred; and Emilie, who was a clear-sighted bystander, suffered continual uneasiness upon these occasions uneasiness, which appeared to Mad. de Coulanges perfectly causeless, and at which she frequently expressed her astonishment.
At night, by the camp-fire, we played euchre and seven-up to strengthen the mind and played them with cards so greasy and defaced that only a whole summer's acquaintance with them could enable the student to tell the ace of clubs from the jack of diamonds. We never slept in our "house." It never recurred to us, for one thing; and besides, it was built to hold the ground, and that was enough.
His thoughts recurred, as they always did when he felt sad or serious, to Jane Melville to the will that had brought them together, and at the same time so cruelly parted them to the unknown father, whose own life had been blighted by the loss of domestic happiness, dealing so fatal a blow to the son whom he meant to bless and reward, by placing him in circumstances where he could not help loving Jane, and forbidding so far as he could forbid the marriage of two souls made for one another.
